It's not a myth, girls play these games too! Like Zeta, I am old enough to be most of my guildies' Mom but I'm no Martha Stewart. Online games are pure stress-relief for this mama.

There are plenty of real women in games, it really depends on the game. Women dislike pointless competition a bit less than men, but where there is a scoreboard, expect to find women contributing heavily to successful teams.

It is nice to see more lady gamers being taken seriously..sorry, I don't call them girl gamers.

It's interesting and fun to see things from the other side of the gender coin. It's often not too terribly different.

Thanks, friend.

By the way, that's the first time I ever saw that ROFLcopter animation. Comic genius. :D

I will admit - that Roflcopter image is BY NO MEANS MINE. It has made the rounds on the internet MANY times, and I just thought it was worth one more share-a-round.

@David Fisher
You are probably right. I have been gaming online since the days of BBS Door games. It is only recently (last 5 years or so) that I have let people know I am female. I still get harassed, just not as much as in the old day. Now I just tell em I am old enough to be their mother or grand mother.

@Jodou - If I'm a man, I think my husband has something to be concerned about. :D

@Jodou:

The internet;
Where the Men are Men,
The Women are Men,
And the children are FBI agents (or Stone Phillips)

But no seriously, there are a lot more women gamers out there than you'd imagine. I think there are more women who play as men (as to not have to take crap about being a woman) then men who play as women.
